Greetings and welcome to the landing page for my new book, Cracked Open; A Field Guide for Men in Search of the Truth.This is more than just a book launch — it’s the beginning of a deeper conversation about what it means to be a man in today’s world. Whether you're here out of curiosity, connection, or a quiet sense that something in you is ready to shift, I'm glad you found your way here.My book is now available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and just about everywhere else: https://books2read.com/u/baJDZQIt's a compilation of 20 years of conversations I have had with Russ every Sunday from 9:30-noon, grappling with regret, feeling not enough, anger, parenting, etc.Below you’ll find more about the book, a sample chapter, and ways to engage.
I invite you to explore, reflect, and — if it speaks to you — share it with someone who might be on their own search for the truth.
Cracked Open Project is a quiet rebellion against shame, bravado, and lying.
Real talk for men — and the women who care about them.

RussGPT Avatar – Coming Soon
Russ is a 91 year old, wise carpenter who doesn't sugar coat anything. He suffers from dyslexia so I am building an avatar that you can interact with.
But for now, Russ will be here every Sunday to address your concerns. Just fill out the form below and hit "Submit." He is not a therapist but if you are looking for practical, no-nonsense advice on life's thorniest issues, you've come to the right guy.
